SHIVER ME TIMBERS! THE GHOSTBUSTERS ARE BACK IN “GHOSTBUSTERS: DEAD MAN’S CHEST”
The new Ghostbusters vs. the ghost of Captain Kidd!
The first of the four-issue series will be available at comic shops starting May 21, 2025
Dark Horse Comics presents Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest , an all-new adventure with Phoebe, Trevor, Gary, Callie, and their friends! This four-issue series is a sequel to Ghostbusters: Back in Town and bridges the gap between the films Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire .
In Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest , the Ghostbusters’ increasing notoriety is throwing them for a loop. While Trevor steadies himself by trying to plan a “friendiversary” celebration for him and Lucky, Phoebe meets someone who might be a real friend instead of just a social media follower. But friendships new and old have to take a back seat to more immediate concerns when a ghostly saber summons the ghost of Captain Kidd and threatens to transform NYC into a ghostly pirate town!
David M. Booher (Canto , The Feeding ) returns to pen more adventures for the new Ghostbusters crew with art by Aviv Or (Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria—Artagan , Midst: The Valorous Farmer ), colors by Cris Peter (Critical Role: The Tales of Exandria , FML ), and lettering by Jimmy Betancourt of Comicraft (Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures ). Tyler Crook (Harrow County ) will illustrate the cover art for issue #1, with a variant cover by Max Sarin (The Great British Bump Off ).
« It’s wonderful to be branching out the Ghostbusters stories to reach a broader audience, » said editor Jenny Bingham-Blenk. « Working with David, Aviv, Cris, Jimmy, and the team at Ghost Corps has been a fun collaboration that will invite readers of all ages to dive deeper into Ghostbusters. »
Booher added, “When I researched ghostly happenings in New York City, I came across the true story of Captain Kidd. He owned a house near Wall Street with his family. Turns out, historians are divided on whether he was the fearsome pirate we know or actually framed for piracy. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to bring him back to ask him ourselves. What could be more fun than having our Ghostbusters stop an angry Captain Kidd from turning Manhattan into a 17th century ghost pirate den?”
Ghostbusters: Dead Man’s Chest #1 (of 4) sails into comic shops on May 21, 2025. It is now available to pre-order for $4.99 at your local comic shop.
